John Wickens was braving the elements attempting to catch the sunrise over Shelly Beach at East Ballina when this pelican glided in for a landing. “The path from the Ballina lighthouse is raised above the beach,” says Wickens, “and the rock shore gave a commanding view as the pelican flew in – no doubt looking for his breakfast.”
John Wickens used a Nikon D7200 camera with a Nikkor 18-300mm lens.
